I love learning about the history of New York City and I’ve been an avid collector of old books and travel guides on New York City, vintage photographs depicting street scenes, historic maps as well as films shot in New York. I visit The Museum of the City of New York in uptown Manhattan at least once a year to learn something new.
The latest exhibit, This Is New York: 100 Years of the City in Art and Pop Culture, explores the many ways that the city has inspired storytelling across various art forms. It features both famous and lesser-known depictions of New York in film and television, visual and performing arts, music, poetry and literature, and even fashion — painting a collective, moving, and sometimes funny version of a city that has managed to capture the imagination of the world.
